One World Tower

- [Instructor] So Chapter six, we are going to lookat some of the massing optionsthat we have between SketchUp and Revit.And this one, we're just going to sort of have a lookat how we can generate some mass objectsfrom content that's been downloadedfrom the 3D warehouse.This is the One World Trade Center.Mass is made by Sebastion S.I've checked some of the dimensions,it's pretty accurate, so very usefulas an example of how we can use this sort of thinginside of Revit.It's not that difficult to make in Revit,but the things that SketchUp does really well,like creating all these little nooks and crannies,are not so readily easy to create,especially as these things are sloping in,inside of Revit.

Not impossible, but not as easy as they are in SketchUp,and this thing, we'll just use this as a separate objectwhich we can then plunk on the top.So, what I have done with this is,this comes in as one thing.I've exploded it and created two separate entities.So these are mine.The One World Tower Mass, and the One World Tower Mast.And then, we shall import it into Revit,into the massing environment, not the project environment,because then we can do slightly different thingsin the massing environment and then we'll send itfrom the massing environment into the project environment.

So we'll be opening upa mass family in the next exerciseand we'll be bringing this model into it.So, if you haven't got access to the files,then you can just download this from the 3D warehouseas I did and use that.

Architects and designers: Discover a new modeling workflow that maximizes creativity and quality. Learn how to use SketchUp for conceptual modeling and move to Revit for refinement. Paul J. Smith also shows how to build massing studies and site context models in SketchUp and import them into Revit, along with many other tips and techniques to enhance your productivity. Plus, learn to take advantage of ready-made objects in SketchUp's 3D Warehouse and import Revit files in SketchUp when you want to take advantage of Revit's strengths for projects such as floor plans and stairs.
